Any guesses on Cd?

Aero?

My guess was 0.19, half my cars cd.
You have probable thought this design out already but..
But my real point for posting was to give out a idea for the doors, even if not for this project, anyways, if you changed the hinges to open as suicide doors you could make the door panel to match the hood/fenders, if you wanted that is.
With a good design it may not require too much panel shaping possible just a few easy lines over a light frame.
